My Story

Our family and a few friends recently took a family vacation to South Africa to go on a safari. When planning for this once-in-a-lifetime trip, I designed and made shirts for all 8 of us in our party. What did the shirt look like? You guessed it...it read "This is my SAFARI shirt" and looked almost exactly like the shirt available on the site today. Everybody at the safari lodge kept asking where we got our shirts. And that is where this crazy idea was born! 

Our name...Life by 41. Why 41? Does that have to do with anything? Well, it has a lot to do with things in the Bible. When I was trying to come up with a name for this business, I kept seeing an insert being shared over and over again on social media and it just kept getting my attention. It read:

In the Bible, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Day 41 came and the rain stopped. Moses committed murder and hid in the desert for 40 years. 41 came and God called him to help rescue Israel. Moses went up on the mountain for 40 days. On day 41, he received the Ten Commandments. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Year 41, they walked into the Promised Land. Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days. Day 41 came, and David slew him. Jonah preached a message of repentance to Ninevah for 40 days. On day 41, God stopped His plan to destroy them. Jesus fasted and was tempted for 40 days. Day 41, and the devil fled. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples for 40 days. On day 41, He ascended into Heaven. All of this to say...don't quit. The rain will stop, the giant will fall, and you will enter your "promised Land" Don't give up at 40. 41 is coming. 

Let this serve as a word of encouragement for you. Wherever you are in life, don't give up! Don't quit! 

(Oh, and I will be turning 41 this year on my birthday. I have lived a lot of "life by 41!")

Thank you for shopping around the page, for buying a shirt and for supporting this crazy dream of mine!
